Title: Nip width sensing system and method
Inventor: MOORE ROBERT H
IPC: G01L5/00
Filed: 2000-01-18
Granted: 2007-05-15
Abstract: Devices for measuring a nip width between rolls of a press nip include one or more sensors adapted to be placed in the nip while the nip is stationary. The elec-trical resistance of each sen-sor corresponds to the size of the nip width, whereby a nip width or a nip width distribution may be deter-mined by measuring the sensor resistance(s). Methods of measuring a nip width distribution include provid-ing a plurality of force sen-sitive resistor sensors each of which respond to pressure applied thereto to provide a variable sensor resistance as a function of the amount of pressure and the area of the pressure exerted on the sensor.

Title: Magnetic retainer for a replaceable wear plate
Inventor: MILES DAVID ROGER
IPC: B02C17/22
Filed: 1999-12-01
Granted: 2003-04-29
Abstract: A wear plate retainer (10) having upper and lower layers (10B, 10A). The lower layer is formed of a relatively soft, shock-absorbent material. The upper layer is formed of a relatively hard, impact and abrasion resistant material.  A plurality of magnets (20) are embedded in the upper layer to removably magnetically retain a wear plate (12) atop the upper layer. A pair of pole pieces (22, 24) are positioned on opposed sides of each magnet and embedded in the upper layer. The pole pieces extend above the magnet, protecting it from impact forces. The pole pieces focus the magnetic field forces emanating from the magnet. The magnets are arranged in rows, with adjacent poles of adjacent pairs of magnets in adjacent pairs of the rows having alternate polarity. The rows are parallel to one another and extend transversely to the direction (16) in which material (14) flows across the wear plate.

Abstract: A method is provided for refurbishing a service operated metallic coating (12) on a substrate alloy (10), the coating (12) including at least within a coating outer surface (16) at least one oxide (14) chemically grown from at least one coating element, for example Al, and chemically bonded with the coating outer surface (16) as a result of thermal exposure during service operation. Growth of the oxide (14) has depleted at least a portion of the coating element from the coating (12). The method comprises removing the oxide (14) from the coating outer surface (16) while substantially retaining the metallic coating (12), thereby exposing in the coating outer surface (16) at least one surface void (18) that had been occupied by the oxide (14). The retained metallic coating (12) is mechanically worked, substantially without removal of the retained coating (12), to close the void (18), providing a treated metallic coating surface (20) over which a refurbishing coating (22) is applied. In one form, the mechanical working provides, concurrently, a compressive stress in the substrate alloy (10) beneath the metallic coating (12).

Abstract: L'établissement de profils d'expression utilisant des microréseaux d'ADN constitue une nouvelle méthode importante d'analyse de la physiologie cellulaire. Dans des microréseaux "repérés", de l'ADNc marqué de manière fluorescente tiré de cellules expérimentales et témoins est hybridé à de l'ADN cible en réseaux et les réseaux sont reproduits en image à au moins deux longueurs d'ondes. Une analyse statistique est exécutée sur des images de microréseaux et montre qu'un fond sans additif, des fluctuations de haute intensité sur des points, et des artefacts de fabrication perturbent la détermination précise d'informations d'intensité. Les distributions de densité de probabilité produites par une analyse pixel par pixel des images peuvent être utilisées pour mesurer la précision avec laquelle les intensités de points sont déterminées. Des systèmes de pondération simple basés sur ces distributions de probabilité sont efficaces pour améliorer de manière significative la qualité des données de microréseaux, à mesure qu'elles s'accumulent dans une base de données multi-expérience. Des estimations d'erreurs à partir de mesures basées sur des images doivent être une composante dans un système explicitement probabiliste pour l'analyse de données de microréseaux d'ADN.

Abstract: Appropriate font characteristics for different display mediums and different readability parameters in any language is automatically determined.  A  method includes determining font characteristics by receiving data including a font identifier and a language identifier, producing a representative line of type in the identified language and with the identified font, measuring characteristics of the representative line of type, and normalizing the measurements across a plurality of fonts and a plurality of languages. The normalizing refers to widths of portions of the text called a "black river", which is used to identify plotted measured characteristics to determine an average grayness across a perpendicular to a reading direction. The average grayness enables comparisons to pluralities of fonts and languages.
